Prelude to and Forward the Foundation

Have I said before how grateful I am to Isaac for tying up all of his stories together into one pretty package? I probably couldn't say it enough. I love how he has done that!

Since I haven't read the Foundation Trilogy yet I'm not sure what to expect. But the hype that Asimov built in with each chapter by adding inserts from his Encyclopedia Galactica adding a sense of greatness and history to the story, you just know its going to add up to something really really special. I actually got sick of the term "psychohistory" it was bandied about so much, but I loved the backstory of Hari Seldon, and of how Isaac pulled it all together to make his legacy. Forward the Foundation was his last novel which makes it all that much precious as we see Hari at the end of his life and the success of his life work accomplished, as Isaac has accomplished his.
